Holocaust Survivor
Speaks to EVG Sixth Graders

Author and Holocaust survivor, Goldy
Hess, spoke to our sixth graders on April 27 to mark this year's
Holocaust Remembrance Day. She spoke about her escape from Germany
to Italy, being held in internment camps, and her final escape to
Switzerland. This ordeal lasted for 5 years, beginning when she was
only 5 years old. Her focus was on the help her family received from
many non-Jewish groups along the way. Her message is this: "With all that happened, we shouldn't be here. we were hidden, we were chased, we were scared. In spite of everything we survived, and look what was accomplished." She reminded all of us that as humans, we are all responsible for helping each other. The students listened attentively and had many questions to ask about her experiences. |
